Religion

My junior year of high school was when I felt the strong call of God upon my life. One specific moment during that time stands out amongst all of the rest. It was a cool, breezy night as I was walking across the street from my aunt Seresa’s to my mamaws and I almost got to her driveway when I heard the voice of God, as it thundered in my mind, “If you will preach my word, I will save your family.”

Jesus Christ gave His life for us, so that we have life abundantly. He covered our sins, paying huge debts. Why not give our lives for the service of the Lord? Living for Jesus is more meaningful than living for ourselves. How shall we follow His footsteps, so that others can see Him through us?
Prayer. It is our personal relationship with God.
Live as God called us. Everyone is precious in the eyes of the Lord. We must remember that God sees everyone the same and loves everyone equally.

You know what really irks me? When people at work don’t turn off the bathroom light when they’re done.
Our company is trying to reduce expenses and one of the easiest things to do is Turn. Off. The. Light!
I don’t know if it’s a problem with the men’s bathroom, although I’m guessing it is. So, men: Turn. Off. The. Light. Too!
There, I said it, and that sure felt good.

These past few weeks I have been diligently preparing for Lent.
How, you ask?
Well, two weeks ago I found a pair of stone-colored flats online at 30 percent off and bought them. And today I bought a pair of white pants that were on sale (plus I used a $10 off coupon).
Even though it’s only early March and I have several or five pairs of white pants in my closet, they are all Capri-length and these are ankle-length, which is more suited to this time of year, or so I am telling myself.

According to a recent LifeWay Research survey, when God answers prayer, he tends to do it in the South.
Two times as many Southerners as people in the Northeast who pray say all of their prayers have been answered.
Hmmm. I live in the South and I’m here to tell you that the survey is hooey, at least if you judge by my “God answers my prayers” track record.
